Teaching Government in Schools

Name: CCFreak2K !mgsA1X/tJA 2005-09-23 2:35

Since it's my senior year of high school, the state of California (pause for laughter) has made it manditory for me to attend a Government/Economics class.  While this wouldn't be a problem (I love to hear people bitch about the world and the people who run it, as long as they have a valid arguement), the teacher I have is EXTREMELY left.  While this also wouldn't pose a problem normally, he's always injecting his left views into any debates that occur.

The bottom line?  The only teachers that should be teaching Government should be ones that can be on both sides of the fence equally (at least most of the time).

Discuss.

University professors are constantly pushed to publish, regardless of their field or possession of tenure. This provides them with plenty of opportunity to be proven wrong.

The people who are expeced to criticise him would have the same viewpoint as the one who publishes. Therefore it turns into "mutual intellectual masturbation" as >>9 puts it because they will never have an opportunity to be criticised by people who think differently.
